If you’re looking for an odd couple on the Dodgers, look no further than Trevor Bauer and Kenley Jansen. Starting early in spring training, the two began building a relationship as throwing partners at Camelback Ranch and have continued throwing into the season.
Where the odd couple part of this comes into play is that Bauer is usually seen as a fiery character as where Kenley is generally even keel. Still, it seems like some of that Bauer fire could be rubbing off on Kenley, even if Trevor downplays the connection.
Moreover, am570’s Dave Vassegh asked the right-hander point blank if Jansen had approached him for help after seeing a new “angry Kenley” on the mound.
